Sometimes we don't realize the things we sacrifice trying to take what looks like the easier road. Convenience isn't always the best way to go. Thank you for this thoughtful post.
My, my.....what an indictment against our society, hm? And, yes, I, too, have been guilty of some. We did homeschool our son, though, and did not fall into many of these traps. Still, there are areas in which we could have done better. Now that our son is married, many, many times my husband and I have expressed how thankful we are that we homeschooled. Oh, but I sometimes miss those days! I am praying that, should the Lord tarry, we may be able to homeschool the grandbaby! We're already reading to him! *smile* I love your blog, GT! God Bless!
Jewel, Thank you for the comments, that is fantastic that you were able to teach your son at home. I may look you up for advice since you have *btdt*. Catherine, Thank you, dear friend for the encouragement...
Five of these points hit me square between the eyes. I do long for change. God help me to learn.
